Art, drinks, music, and good company...what more could we ask for to kick off the month?
June 1st Friday will be a relaxed and soulful vibe with a solo performance by Ivan Moreland. You may have seen Ivan when he's supported the vocals of Akili Ni Mali and Taylor Davis, but this 1st Friday, we want to shine the spotlight on Ivan, who is an incredible artist in his own right. With smooth vocals, soulful keys, and some mellow cello, Ivan will find a special place in your heart. Not to mention, he's a really nice person. Be sure to meet him and say hi.
We also want to thank this month's sponsors, Propellerheads Inc. for providing refreshments and BELLOMO STUDIOS for bringing in the live entertainment. Both business owners will be on site to meet and share a drink with.
Community is about people connecting. We are people first before we have professions, hobbies, etc. It's important to take time to connect with your community as equals. Everyone has a story to tell and it deserves to be heard.
The best way to enjoy the arts is to not just experience finished, polished results, but learn about the ups and downs of the process, the stories that the artist is called to tell, and the inspiration that drives them day in and day out!
We are so fortunate the have the support of local businesses and community and like to do our part to help our community understand the value of art in our daily lives and the richness art brings to all communities.
First Fridays serve as a way for you to experience that connection and for our community to come together and learn more about the people who surround you and your community through art.
We hope to see you Around the Behn for 1st Friday in June!
